Quote context

- Here it is. Cocoanut Manor, 42 hours from Times Square by railroad. 1600 miles as the crow flies, 1800 as the horseflies.

- And the climate... Ask me about the climate, I dare you.

- Very well. How...

- I'm glad you brought it up.

- Take its climate. No, we took that. Take its fruits, take the alligator pears. Take all the alligator pears and keep 'em. See if I care.

- Do you know how alligator pears are made?

- Haven't the slightest idea.

- There you are. That's because you've never been an alligator, and don't let it happen again.

- I don't think I do.

- All they can get a hold of.

Hello. Hello. No, we no got a no rooms. We got a nothing. We got a no customers. We got a nothing.

I'm going down to meet the 4:15. If I never come back, you'll know I'm still waiting for the train. -Yes, sir.

I'll make you all a promise. If you'll all stick with me and work hard, we'll forget about money.
